If your going to be doing a site that has a lot of load you need to look at
either Client vars, or cookies. If it's going to be scaling and going into
a clustered environment you can't use session var's and have them stick. In
that case you will need to use Client var's and a DB. I personally never
use Session var's if I can help it. There are times when you have to, but
if I can get away with not using them I don't use them.

Subject: Session vs. Cookies
hey guys, a friend of mine who is a pretty advanced CF programmer says that
I should stay away from using sessions when developing sites that have a
pretty good load of users, because sessions take up wayyyyyyyy too much
memory, and that I should resort to cookies or client cookies instead. This
makes me very sad, cuz i really like sessions a lot, and am about to develop
a complex and lots-of-users site. Sessions are really easy to work with for
me! Maybe he is wrong or is missing something? Can one of yall make me
happy again? or gimme some suggestions?
thanx
